“I, like every member of the Hampshire team, am shocked to learn of Todd's sudden passing as he was more than a partner or a colleague but a member of our Hampshire family and a dear friend,” says James E. Hanson II, president and CEO of The Hampshire Companies. “Although Todd's twelve years at Hampshire were far too short, I will always remember the thought-provoking, energizing and stimulating daily conversations we enjoyed and the vision and creative ingenuity that Todd brought to work each day. My deepest thoughts are with his family at this time.”

Anderson's impact on the state business community will not solely be remembered within the walls of Hampshire's Morristown headquarters. Because of his work, Hampshire says it completed transformational office repositioning projects at 8 Sylvan Way in Parsippany, Centra in Woodbridge, and 175 Park Avenue in Madison, NJ, projects that the company says in a statement, “allow thousands of employees of leading companies to work each day in 21st century transformative workplaces.”

During his tenure at Hampshire, Anderson helped two major companies secure new headquarters in New Jersey, bringing The Medicines Company to 8 Sylvan Way in Parsippany in 2008 and, in 2012, bringing Realogy to 175 Park Avenue in Madison. Both deals were recognized by NAIOP with its prestigious Deal of the Year Award in 2008 and 2012, respectively.

Anderson formed strong relationships with local municipal leaders and exemplified the ideal of a responsible and thoughtful community-oriented real estate executive. His relationship with the mayor, council and town officials of Carteret enabled Hampshire to reposition, develop or to be developed nine projects with an aggregate 2.25 million square feet and value above $350 million within the municipality, bringing jobs and a wide range of successful companies to the borough.

“I am honored to have called Todd a partner and colleague but most of all, a friend,” says Jon F. Hanson, chairman of the Hampshire Companies. “In his time at Hampshire, Todd's vision, passion and creativity made him a valued member of our team and someone I came to rely upon for counsel and advice. My sincere condolences go out to Todd's family during this difficult time.”

Before joining Hampshire, Anderson was a member of CBRE Global Investors Strategic Partners group, where he was involved in all asset management activities on the East Coast and Southeast. He was a graduate of the University of North Dakota and is survived by his wife, Dorota and son, Jackson.
